Lee Jong Seok denies Jung So Min dating rumors

On February 4, an online media outlet reported that there were rumors about Lee and Jung having a romantic relationship and some people said that they even went on a trip to Tokyo together.

On the same day, a spokesperson for Lee said, “The rumors about a relationship between Lee and Jung are groundless.”

“Lee did fly to Japan today and we heard the rumors through the Internet so we even checked with the manager that went to Japan with Lee.”

“Lee and Jung met each other when they shot a commercial in 2011. But they haven’t met again since then, even in an informal setting.”

“I heard that Lee encountered Jung at the airport by accident. But they didn’t go to Japan together,” the spokesperson added.

“Lee went to Japan to take some time off and to rest. He has friends there so he goes to Japan often. He will be back on February 6.”

Lee previously appeared on KBS’s Monday-Tuesday series School 2013, which went off air on January 28.
